Christian Bok's DNA Theory

The Christian Bok has conceived a project regards absurd ambition. The poet has been working on the Xenotext Experiment since last 13 years. It is a literary exercise that gives the aesthetic potential of genetics in modern era.

The Bok has developed a Xenotext by writing a poem, encoding it within a sequence of DNA.

According to my research, the Bok has been working on the Xenotext for nine years to create an "living poetry". He use a chemical alphabet to translate this poem to a sequence of DNA for implement to genome of a bacterium.

I found so many researches regarding to DNA theory but then i understand that when DNA translated into gene and then integrated into the cell.

Christian Bök is trying to show how much is possible with poetry. A poet is “a kind of scientist of language” who carries out experiments in their laboratory of poetry.
